PARAQUITA BAY, Tortola, VI - 20-year-old Kathlyn Archibald-Drew, contestant number 6 has been crowned the new Miss BVI 2021, at a ceremony held Sunday night, October 17, 2021 at the Eileene L.

Miss Archibald-Drew also took away the Miss Intellect accolade as part of a prize awarded at the pageant.

Hours before taking the crown, the VI beauty said her Miss BVI journey “has been one of growth in so many aspects of my life. There have been challenges indeed but they were worth it.”

She continued, “I have more appreciation for the hard work that it takes mentally, physically, and emotionally to be an ambassador, but I’m ready,” she said.

Meanwhile, coming in as first runner-up was contestant number three, Jareena Penn who copped the Most Popular, Most Poised, Best Introduction, Best Swimwear, Best BVI Promotion, and Best Evening Wear accolades.

Sylvanna Charles was the second runner up and other contestants included Reba Smith who was awarded Best Cultural Wear, Chenae Walters awarded Miss Congeniality and Keyona Cameron who received the Most Photogenic award.

    In other words people, learn to count! Someone posted the other girl won so many awards and still not the crown. Sigh. Awards have nothing to do with attaining the crown. Pageants are a numbers game. If one score horrible in question and answer and the other one was running close behind and hit the ball out the park with her answers, the crown is hers! Simple! Even if she won that crown by 1 point (which I doubt) she is still the winner! Get over it! Congrats to our new queen. You will go far my dear!

    But, based on the numbers is the personal interview 600 and the show itself is not even 300. So technically if you win the personal interview you win the show even if you sat in the audience the night of the show. Make me understand

    The show itself # 3 won but based on previous points put #6 had about 100 point in front of all the others.

    It is obvious that the categories needed a balance in points.
    Not only that the prizes needs to be balanced also. It takes a lot of money to put your best foot forward even with sponsorship.

    It's no way the queen gets 0ver 50,000 value and runner's up get so little. Prizes need to be more attractive and balanced.

    All the girls did well but # 6 answered the question best.

    One observation and fault on committee. You mean to tell me you didnt have a sash for contestant number one that looked so bad. For months you all knew all the categories and still fowl up in the end. Shameful
